Event Date : Apr-04-2017

In-depth discussions on the development of digital printing ink and nozzle will be held during the upcoming Shanghai International Digital Printing Industry Exhibition (TPF) that will be held from April 19 to 21 in China. Dr Tim Philips, MD, IMI Europe, has been invited to speak on latest inkjet technology for textile digital printing at the event. Dr Philips will focus on the world's leading textile inkjet technology in digital printing and share a new generation of advanced film sprinklers, single pass high-speed printing machines and paint inks. Also on the agenda is a discussion on how to open new opportunities through the technological advances brought by industry leaders. In textile ink usage, printing problem and filtering solution has always plagued users. The reason of the breakdown of textile digital printing is extremely complex, there are ink salting out, hydrolysis, reunion, filter fibre shedding and other conventional problems, and there are issues like compatibility, ink raw materials and other problems, even the inkjet filter selection and the installation are closely related with the print quality. The organisers, UBM China and Shanghai Longyang, have thus invited senior sales manager, Chen Xincan in Hangzhou Kebaite Filtering Equipment, to share knowledge about filtering of textile inks with the TPF2017 audience. Paint is currently the second largest pigment material behind dyes in textile industry and in textile printing, paint printing has 80 per cent market share globally. In this context, Li Jianfa, international marketing director in China of National Glazed Group, will speak on the application and case analysis of paint ink on digital printing. He will also share the composition of paint ink, process of coating ink and application of coating ink in blended and man-made fibres. Industry's authoritative ink and nozzle suppliers will be especially invited to attend the seminar presided over by Dr Philips, and give insights on latest technology. The audience will get the opportunity to interact with industry experts and top brands and put forward the problems encountered in application. TPF 2017 is expected to attract about 230 exhibitors who will display their latest digital printing machines, ink, nozzles, software and more. Also on the agenda are numerous forums and one to one business negotiations. The highlights of the exhibition also include a Design Pavilion, China Digital Textile Conference, workshops, technical presentations, and more. (KD)
